About the Artists
Juan Hinojosa is a mixed-media artist who currently lives and works in New York. Constructed from found objects, his complex collage-drawings intimately challenge greed, obsessive consumption, and the social stratification of American culture. His conflicts have resulted in a series of work that put on display his own bad habits, desires, and classic American greed. Hinojosa attended Parsons School of Design and was awarded residencies at Material for the Arts (New York), the Vermont Studio Center (Vermont), and LMCC (Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s Governors Island COVID-19 Response Residency program). His work has been featured in The New York Times, the Woodside Herald, and Open House New York. Hinojosa’s first solo exhibition was at Allegra LaViola Gallery (2012). Since then he has had solo exhibitions at Materials for the Arts (New York), Union College, Schenectady, and he was part of the Biennial at El Museo del Barrio (New York).
Melissa Joseph is a Brooklyn-based multimedia artist. Her work addresses themes of memory, family history, and the politics of how we occupy spaces. She intentionally alludes to the labors of women as well as experiences as a first generation American and the unique juxtapositions of diasporic life. Her work has been shown at the Delaware Contemporary, Woodmere Art Museum, Bemis Center for Contemporary Art, Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, and featured in Hyperallergic, New American Paintings, Zyzzyva. She has participated in residencies at the Textile Arts Center, BRIC, Dieu Donné, and soon at the Archie Bray Foundation for Ceramic Arts.
Fanny Allié graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie, in Arles, France in 2005. Princeton University, Equity Gallery, Hyatt Centric (Philadelphia), DOT Art, A.I.R Gallery, NYC Department of Parks & Recreation, Fresh Window, and St Eustache Church (Paris, France) have organized solo and public installations of her work. Owen James Gallery, NYU/Gallatin Gallery, Dorsky Gallery, Freight + Volume, BRIC Rotunda Gallery, Pratt Institute and The Bronx Museum, among others have featured her work in group exhibitions. Fanny is the recipient of various fellowships and residencies including AIM (Bronx Museum), BRIC Arts | Media, Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts, A.I.R. Fellowship Program, Robert Blackburn Printmaking Fellowship, Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Studio Program, Yaddo Residency, Dieu Donné Workspace Residency, NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship (Craft/Sculpture) and MacDowell Fellowship.
